High Ping / Latency

High ping (latency) causes delayed responses in-game: blocks take time to break, entities teleport, and PvP becomes unfair.

Understanding Ping

Ping measures the round-trip time for data between your client and the server. Lower is better:

Server Location

MY-L servers are hosted in Malaysia. Players farther away will have higher ping due to physical distance. This is normal and not a server issue.

Diagnosing High Ping

For You

• Check your ping to the server (see Ping guide)
• Test from a different network (mobile data, different ISP)
• Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi

For Players

• Ask players to check their own connection
• Geographic distance is the primary factor
• Local ISP routing can cause issues for specific regions

Server-Side Factors

If all players report high ping:

1. Check server TPS — low TPS can appear as lag
2. Check CPU usage in the dashboard
3. Verify no network saturation from DDoS or excessive traffic
4. Check optimization settings
